The art of whisky maturation – Murray McDavid

Maturation is one of the most crucial factors in creating a whisky’s individual character. At Murray McDavid, the influence of the cask is an art form. Based in the traditional dunnage warehouse at the Coleburn Distillery, the house is dedicated to selecting and using casks that enhance and refine the natural characteristics of the distillate.

Since the 18th century, it has been known that aging in oak casks – especially those that previously held wine or sherry – transforms and enhances Scotch whisky. Murray McDavid continues this tradition by maturing their whiskies in carefully selected casks that have previously held other fine wines and spirits. The result is complex, deep and unique bottlings like this 25-year-old Glen Grant.
